If the question is "where to stay in Sydney over New Year Eve" then unless you get in early, beachside accommodation options will be very rare. Sydney and its famous beaches are a magnet to visitors who flock from the country side and interstate, as well as from far flung destinations over seas.

After the illusive hotel with a view of the fireworks in Sydney over New Year Eve, the beachside hotel or apartment option is the most sought after. The southern beaches such as Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach are long established suburbs with large residential populations and where land to build a tourist hotel has been rare for many years. As such relatively few beachside hotel options exist.

Much the same is true of Sydney's Northern Beaches such as Manly Beach. Here quite a few privately owned fully furnished but self-serviced apartments are let out to the summer holiday-maker.

For those of you travelling to Sydney from other parts of the world, keep in mind that local Australians find Sydney's beachside irresistible also and will frequently pre-book accommodation a year in advance for the Australian School Holidays that usually go for 6 weeks - taking in the end of December through most of January.

Once again it is the larger apartments that are at a premium over Christmas and New Year in Sydney beachside accommodation. Don't leave it too late or you will have to be a day tripper to the beach at this busy time of year.
